stop or I’ll come
she said as if it was a bad thing
confused I lay my head beside hers and looked up
at a picture on her pink bedroom wall
cut out from a magazine
of a minor celebrity
tangled up in a pair of
disembodied long black legs
I said I found the picture offensive
she blamed her mother for putting
it up
I wondered why her mother
would have anything to do
with the decorating of a grown
woman’s bedroom
and thought of all
the minor celebrities who had adorned my
pink bedroom walls
none of whom had ever been
tangled up in a pair of
disembodied long black legs
not to my knowledge anyway
